Hi Guys and Girls,
Here's the latest from our pals in Bonnie Scotland at Boat of Garten.

Mallachie moves on, but Rothes seems settled....
Posted on Monday, 31 Aug 2009 at 3.26 pm

There's not much to report on Rothes, she is still in the same general area, north of Bordeaux on La Gironde River, as at 4pm yesterday evening - the last data fix that we have for her. Her wee sister, Mallachie, is on the move. Having roosted in the Longhoughton area of Northumberland on Saturday evening, come first thing Sunday morning she was pressing on south into North Yorshire.
Here are a few selected locations she passed en route;

5am just north of Acklington,

6am she flew over a huge quarry at West Chevington,

7am near Ulgham, south of Widdrington Station,

8am she flew over A19 near Seaton Burn roundabout,

9am West Pelton near Chester-le-Street,

10am if you live in Proudfoot Drive, Bishop Auckland and were in your garden, she went right over you, - (hope she didn't poop on any one's washing!),

11am just west of Scotch Corner on A1,

1pm near Whitwell, east of Catterick,

3pm just west of Northallerton, and between 3pm and 8pm she seems to have been fishing along the River Swale, presumably roosted nearby and continued to quarter the river again early next morning when her last fix was at 5am today 31st August.

Meantime, back here at Loch Garten we have had intruder osprey White TF with us again today, this morning at least, and he seems to be trying to make a statement of intent - bringing in sticks and fresh nesting material !! Come April, Odin might have rival on his hands. Next season's osprey intrigue has started already!
Home site report end.

Will Rothes wait for Mallchie to catch up, who can tell, let's just hope these wee guys get to the migration destination safely, cheers,

regards to all, Al

Mucho cool, looks like she passed my old house on Perth aerodrome, I shall keep watching.
